While the east is getting pummeled with snow we have been getting some unseasonably warm weather and moisture which has turned our roads into skating rinks, made highways treacherous, and made walking dangerous unless you have some Yaktrax.
I was given some Nokian 296 Extremes by my friend and although I usually get by pretty well with Marathon winter tyres I installed them... cold does not bother me at all but the road conditions have been heinous.
With these tyres you don't know you are riding on sheets of ice.
